"My wife and I have a failed casement picture window that we are planning to replace. It is in our kitchen and is at least ten years old. Custom cabinetry is built onto the wall below the window. Not only does cold air come in through the failed window, but it is also cold inside the cabinets. We were concerned that this was because the wall below the window needed to be better insulated, so we planned to have that done before the new window was installed. Tony Karpovich of True Energy Solutions, Inc. came to do the free estimate as scheduled, calling first. He used an infrared detector to evaluate the wall, and demonstrated to us that our wall was already well insulated from the floor up to near the base of the window. He said that we should remind our new window vendor (who happens to be certified to do energy audits) to fill the spaces around the window with appropriate insulation, so that cold air not only cannot get in through the failed window itself but also not through conductive heat loss from the metal window frame. Tony said that as long as the window installer fully seals and insulates right around the new window, that we should not have a problem with heat loss. Tony said there was no point in adding more insulation to the wall, in general. My wife and I appreciated the information, the demonstration, and the advice. We now look forward to working with our new window vendor to get the window replaced correctly, this time."

"Michelle was great. Very detail oriented, knowledge, and gave great suggestions during the post-purchase inspection. She allowed us to accompany her during the inspection and answered any and all questions we had, very approachable. She spent almost two hours with us and gave a great, 22 page report with photos afterwards. Good communication pre and post inspection. Highly recommend, I have already sent her info to a friend who is looking for an inspection."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

When combined with a substantial solar system, if you have enough Powerwalls, you could go off-grid and be energy independent. But remember, you'd need enough Powerwalls to power your whole home continuously because a single Powerwall can’t power large appliances for extended periods. One Powerwall is able to power an average-sized home's emergency circuits, lights, and outlets. To power large appliances, you likely need two or three Powerwalls.

Dryers are designed to use as little electricity as possible, but power is still required to run the motor that turns the drum and to heat an element that pumps hot air. Eco devices are available and may lead to cost savings in the long term, but you should run the figures before committing to an eco-friendly device as they are often much more expensive to purchase.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

STC (Sound Transmission Class) is a rating that describes how well a building material or assembly blocks airborne sound. A higher STC rating means less noise will pass through the material, providing better sound reduction. This rating system applies to various building components, including windows, doors, flooring, drywall, and insulation.

For context, a typical single-pane window has an STC rating of around 25 (where normal conversations are audible), while a well-sealed, double-pane window can exceed STC 45 (blocking loud speech and most music). It is important to note that for some products, like soundproofing drywall, the STC rating refers to the entire wall system, not just the individual panel.

Additionally, STC ratings are most effective for measuring sound reduction at mid-to-high frequencies, such as human speech, and may not accurately reflect how well a material blocks low-frequency sounds like bass music or thunder. Because of these factors, it is recommended to consult a professional to determine the right STC-rated materials for your specific soundproofing needs.
